TAKEN FROM THE DEPTHS.
In this sad world of ours

In this sad world of ours
This dreary wilderness of care and pain,
This mystery, this turmoil Of unrest,
This rough and stormy pathway to the tomb.
Where many tears and blurring shadows fall
How sweet. o Lord. TO know that we are thinei
That in thy hand this mighty chaos lies;
That thinn the key of this great mystery
We could not bear it elsei
For as the years go by
One sorrow makes strange prepared way
For yet another; one by one our joys
Are wrested from us ere we call them ours,
And sweetest human ties are severed wide,
And sweetest human cares slip from our grasp;
And dear home nests are robbed of all the birds.
And family trees are stripped Of flower and leaf
And many graves Lie greenly side by side
And oceans roll between some we hold dear
Till with sad folded hands we sit and say,
How can God have it so9
For human hearts will cry ont for their loves,
And human eyes seek du1nbly for the smiles
OF angel faces gone.

Oh, wrap us in the fullness of thy lovei
In infinite compassion lay thy hand
Upon our hearts, and make them very still.
And since the cross is thine, oh, help us bear
1t very patiently until that blessed morn
When all the shades of night shall fee away,
When we shall clasp again the loved and lost,
And every severed bond shall join again;
Where, in the light that circles round the throne
In all his beauty all shall see the king.

RUMORS.

1t was rumored this morning that
the Honolulu Rifles were disbanded
by order of the King last night.
When the above rumor was contra
dicted report was circulated that
the Rifles are to be disbanded and
that the guards at the palace have
been doubled. Gattling-guns, rumor
further says. will be stationed at the
Palace gates to sweep the streets in
case of trouble. Bombs, rumor
continues, have been brought into
the country and will knock gattling-
guns into grid-irons. Several spot
tiers are rumored to have been en-
gagged, to ascertain the starters OF
the reports, and to watch the move
ments of the enemy. Rumor talks
of exciting times to come, when
everybody will shut up shop and
join in general jubilee.
